That scene in Shrek 2 where they’re staying in Fiona’s childhood bedroom and he can’t sleep… powerful

i cannot get over at this newsstory. i CANNOT. i cannot believe that they paid someone to write a story about how people aren’t having children in the middle of a global pandemic that cost MILLIONS of people their jobs. this is the stupidest fucking thing i’ve ever seen!! do they think people are just sitting at home like “well can’t find any new series to binge, might as well have a fucking baby! that’s the next logical step, right?” i’m going to SCREAM.

do u happen to know if the eye makeup carmilla has in some of those pictures is supposed to represent something? or does it just look cool
first off, for people reading, here’s an example of what anon is talking about!
Tumblr media
[image id: a picture of dr carmilla from the chest up. she is a japanese woman with bright red dyed hair and a lip piercing wearing a white patterned kimono and black waistcoat. a character that looks a bit like a loopy cross with two dots on the right is painted in black makeup beneath her right eye and extending up to a slash over her right eyebrow. end id.]
the eye makeup is writing in high terran. high terran is one of the two main languages on terra, the other being low terran; there is also a collection of less widely spoken different languages, many of which low terran has bits and pieces from. low terran is a creole language formed from several others, which most people speak, and high terran is a language that’s heavily regulated by the capital and characterized by being something that largely only the upper classes speak. dr carmilla herself, in character, is not fluent in high terran, which leads to her makeup often including misspellings or incorrect words.
occasionally her makeup is low terran; an example of this is below.
Tumblr media
[image id: another picture of dr carmilla, this one in blue with a blue patterned kimono, blue hair, and what looks like it might be a blue overcoat or another kimono over the top. the makeup over her right eye resembles two intersecting diagonal lines across her face. end id.]
maki has said carmilla writing in high terran was ‘[trying] to blend in with the fancies’; the reason for her writing on her face in makeup at all is unknown, and quite possibly it’s just an oddity of hers, though it is worth knowing that canonically dr carmilla wears an eyepatch and lost an eye at one point, though both her eyes are currently functioning so it’s likely she has a robot eye or similar.

nothing brings me more joy than critically engaging with media that was clearly not designed with critical engagement in mind. it’s the media studies equivalent of like, idk, trying to skateboard up a flight of stairs.

The fact that Brian sounds so hurt when Dr Pilchard doesn’t believe him. He sounds so offronted at like, the concept that he’d lie to him.

Dragons are extraordinarily good mimics, escaping human predation by disguising themselves as common airliners, some even going so far as to sport crude copies of carrier logos. This makes them difficult to track, though most sources agree that the dragon population is critically endangered.
While there has been some success with halting large-scale dragon hunting, conservationists are still concerned about a recent spate of crashes in otherwise healthy adults.
Given that dragons communicate via radio signals and that most crashes occur near military radar stations, it is theorized that the radar may be disorienting the dragons. Investigations are still ongoing.

Jon, externally: He won :(
Jon, internally, watching Jonalias Bouchnus get used like an eternal paralyzed drinking straw for the Eye: How’s your apocalypse going, Mr. King of a Ruined World? :) Pretty good, it doesn’t seem. :)) Next time you don’t invite evil Fear gods. :)))
